So much has changed in the way of learning and education since I was in school. Now schools are focused on STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math because so many of the principles applied to those subjects are relevant in our day to day lives.

Bubble Fun with Teletubbies!
This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. Bubbles... it doesn't matter how old or young you are, bubbles are always fascinating. I remember once sitting in the parking lot of a festival trying so desperately to calm my over-excited and tantruming-toddler. She was my first baby, and I was still learning all ...
Wholesome Dinners Were on the Table This Week, Courtesy of Gobble
Raise your hand if you cook a homemade gourmet meal every night. . . yeah, I didn't think so! I'll be honest, on the days I'm not excessively tired or being lazy, the only reason a "real" meal can't come together is that I simply don't have all the ingredients I need. If someone were to drop off groceries with every detail to make a delicious dinner, I wouldn't resort to our typical grilled chicken with a side of veggies, or our thrown-together ...
The Importance of Teaching Kids to Swim at a Young Age
This post was sponsored by SwimWays as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Even before I had kids I knew that when I did become a mother, teaching my kids to swim early would be a priority. I'm not a swimmer, I never learned to swim, and if you ask my husband it's because witches don't float. Don't get me wrong, I love the water. Toss me in a pool any day and I'm in heaven, ...
Starpath Dolls Break The Mold With Their Personalized Books!
Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. My preschooler has quite the personality. She can be the most nurturing, caring little person in this house, or she can be the reason you need a stiff drink before 5 pm on a random Wednesday. There's no in between. Her choice in toys reflects her personality. She loves superheroes and rough play, but she also loves her baby dolls and dress up. She's been asking for a doll she can ...
McDonald’s New Offerings Are Impressive!
This post was sponsored by McDonald’s as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Travel season is coming up and I'm looking forward to road trips with my family. We try to get away at least once every few months even if it's just a weekend getaway, but over the summer we take frequent trips and like to explore new things. My husband is a teacher, so having him home for the summer is ...
Check out P. King Duckling on Disney Jr and Enter To Win a Prize Pack!
This post is part of a sponsored campaign for P. King Duckling. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. Teaching younger children confidence is something I'm still trying to figure out. Every day is a lesson, regardless of how many children I have, and each day brings something new. I know that while my daughters are only 3 years apart, they handle situations very differently. My firstborn ...
Hot summer offerings from Disney Home Movies
Disclosure- this post contains affiliate links While summer time is all about being outdoors and enjoying the sunshine, there will be, no doubt, a few days where we will be laying low and enjoying some family movie time. Summer in NYC can be pleasant, or it can be way too hot to get out, or thunderstorms that last for hours. I welcome these days as much as I welcome the sunshine, because we get to hang out at home, truly relax, and spend ...
